If you pretended to believe that explaining why any other leader would be twenty points ahead of May in 2018 somehow meant you also believed any other leader would be twenty points ahead of Johnson in 2021, you're currently being crucified by your own idiocy.
And it's hilarious.

The failure/refusal of either Truss or Kwarteng to address what the Bank of England did yesterday, with some success, is just incredible. The central bank intervened to limit the damage being done by government policy & the government continues to insist that the policy is great.

It is indeed the 'self-inflicted' element of all this that demands the most attention and, I would suggest, a lot less air time for the secretly-funded clowns who helped flog it to the nation. twitter.com/_DavidGoodman/…

Do not underestimate the abject desperation with which they will cling to the notion that Brexit was in any way a good idea. It is not political for them: it is personal; psychological; existential. And this means they can't begin to acknowledge reality, let alone address it.

A week after praising Kwarteng’s budget in the strongest terms, the Daily Mail today waits until page *eight* before reporting on how it’s all going. Even the Daily Star has it on the front.

And then the paper review goes & spoils it all by giving utterly undue prominence to a couple of Times & Telegraph Brexit headbangers who’ve already been proved wrong about everything… twitter.com/mrjamesob/stat…

Listening to @MarkJCarney on @BBCr4today and wondering, for the ten millionth time, how we ended up dismissing the expert counsel of people like him in favour of Farage & Rees-Mogg’s verbal flatulence.

This is a party that's spent years successfully lying about Brexit being a good idea, Boris Johnson getting all the big calls right, Owen Paterson being innocent & people driving to Barnard Castle to test their eyesight. Claiming that there is currently no crisis is child's play.

Liz Truss wished upon a monkey's paw to be Prime Minister. It's the only possible explanation.

Don’t forget that among the many, many traditions & institutions completely trashed by Boris Johnson, the notion of a ‘resignation issue’ was one of the most valuable checks. Even when he finally went he continued to refuse to recognise it. Kwarteng benefits from that. For now.
